SETTLED At LAST.
The Sells-Crawford Opera House Now tn
Daisy-Crawford-TitlsP Perfected.

For long time those familiar with the
workings OF the Sells Crawford opera house
have known that there was some difficulty
CONNECTED with the affair owing to the fact
that there was claimed to be slight defect
in the abstract While those familiar with
the objection to the title did not imagine for
moment that the SO called flaw in the title
would ever injure those interested, yet they
were not at all anxious to erect the building
on the disputed ground.
When Messrs. Cells and Crawford e1-
pressed desire not to build until the title
was perfect Mr. o. c. Daisy went to work
and gaiued quit claim deed from Mr.. Rob-
ert Short who claimed to have an interest
il the property, which makes the title per-
feet. La order that work could be con-
menced Immediately and the city would not
longer be starved for an opera house, Mr..
Short was given 81, 500 SO that the matter
could be settled.
some time ago expressed desire to
abandon the scheme. He YVES led
to such conclusion by the fact
that it was shown him that the city demand
ed a much larger an1 finer building than
what was first anticipated. When he had
arrived at that conclu sion it was made known
to Mr. o. c. Daisy, to whom, as is well
known. is due the entire enterprise. He in,-
mediately decided to relieve Mr.. Gel and
has done so and now the building viii be
erected by Daisy and Cra~ ford. The build
ing cost several thousand more than first ex-
p cted. They will add in many particulars
and until the building will cost not less than
$4,000.
Everything is now ready for the word
go" The material long since ordered and
some having arrived, will i'll few days be
